Straight answers
Schedules in Canada, answered.
Is Rosie available in Canada?
Yes. Rosie knows Canada's employment rules for breaks, leave and young workers, and prices in CAD. It runs in a web browser, so there is nothing to install.
How much does Rosie cost in CAD?
The Roster plan is C$39 a month (CAD) and includes 25 staff, with Rosie writing the schedule for you. Team is C$39 plus C$3.50 for each staff member a month, and adds the staff app, timesheets, leave and shift swaps. Business is C$39 plus C$5.50 for each staff member, and adds a clock-in tablet at the venue, your own break rules and break sign-off at clock-out, different rules for each venue, and unlimited venues.
Can Rosie handle Canadian employment rules?
Yes. Rosie knows the break, rest and young-worker rules for Canada, and on every plan you can set your own maximum hours and minimum rest between shifts. On Team and up you can also set rules for each employment type and weekend and public holiday pay rates. Business adds different rules for each venue and your own break rules. Rosie checks the schedule against them before you send it out.
How does Rosie write the schedule?
You tell it how many people you need on each shift, and who can work which roles and when. Rosie then works out who can work each shift, keeping to your rules and sharing the hours fairly. You check the result, drag anything you want to change, and send it out.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every plan has its own 30-day free trial, with no card needed. You get everything on the plan you pick, and can change plans during the trial. That's long enough to run two full fortnightly pay cycles before you decide.
Can my team see the schedule on their phones?
Yes, on the Team plan and up. Staff get the Rosie app, where they see their shifts, ask for time off, swap shifts and clock in and out. On the Roster plan, staff don't get the app, so you print or export the schedule for them.
